These are some wonderful photos, Sarah. As I was scrolling, I was waiting for Pinterest credits! Truly Pinterest-worthy, all of them! Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness what a great collection of pictures! That fence made with bicycles is really neat and the cemetery with blue bonnets is a wonderful photo. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful collection of fences, Sarah, love the little donkeys by the gate.

Love taking pics of fences..the bicycles..never ever saw a fence of bikes!
ReplyDeleteThe cemetary..wow..looks so different and beautiful in a sea of blue..♥Great pics..love the grass on the gorge potting house.
I enjoyed seeing all the fence photos, Sarah, and especially the fence of bikes...how unusual is that, but so pretty in white! I also loved the fence that was painted with art work...so pretty. Oh, and the little house with the grass on the roof top...Awww so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love your ABC theme going on and I look forward to each week and what you'll think up!
There are some interesting fences, there! Who would have thought to make a fence out of bicycles? Not a fence, but I love the little garden shed with the shaggy grass roof!
ReplyDeleteThe fence of bicycles is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBut, the garden with the boat brought back wonderful memories. When we bought our house, there was an old rowboat in the garden filled with flowers. Unfortunately, over the years, the boat just rotted away. I loved that boat in the garden.
All the photos are splendid, I especially like the first two shots.

Hello Sarah, Thank you for your visit. Thanks also for sharing your photos of all the lovely unique fences. The Indian Creek photo is unique also. It looks so pretty with the blue flowers it looks like a cemetery in a creek. Hope you had a lovely Pink Saturday. Joyous Wishes, Linda
ReplyDeleteSarah, they are all quite charming, but I am in love with photo #2...that red is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI paused and absorbed each photo, each fence unique, many very powerful emotionally. Sarah I didn't see any photo sources so I believe this is all your delightful photography. Just a suggestion ... turning them into a 14 month calendar for 2016. If you did I'd buy several of them as Christmas gifts. Just a thought.
Thank you for this very beautiful photo essay.

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteOh my! That cemetery is just gorgeous! Thanks for playing today.
Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!
That bicycle fence is adorable and the one with the garden painted on it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos that warm my heart. I think my favorites are the black wrought iron---so classic but not practical for one who has dogs! And the old wooden one, now that's feasible!
ReplyDeleteLastly, I LOVE the pic of the old boat. Oh, I bet it holds a lot of great memories! :)

Sarah - These photos are wonderful. I especially like the chickens and baby donkeys. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I am always looking for great fences too. You have an excellent eye for the picturesque and unique. I love them all. Linda
ReplyDeleteSarah - I see you love fences the same way that I love beautiful and unusual doors. I so enjoyed all of the photos and I will be looking at fences in a new way, as I travel. I have always loved the iron ones, but I will pay more attention to the others, now. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos Sarah. I love the gate with the donks! All are so different and interesting, you certainly have an eye for seeing a great snap. I will have to take notice more of fences.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, they speak a thousand words without ever telling a story! Great photography too, compliments to your sister as well.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!

I adore fences especially if they have any kind of flowers climbing over them. I think they also give character and structure to any space. Fences and gates....they are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so many great images. It is hard to pick a favorite, I love them all. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletejust a beautiful selection from lush ivies and gardens to donkeys and dessert. loved them all! thanks for linking in with these beauties!

What a fabulous variety of fences in this post and I also love the reflections and critters
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly enjoying your alphabet series Sarah! How incredibly clever you are! I love all the wonderful fences and fence like things you have found to include in this beautiful and artist post! Can't wait to see what G stands for!
ReplyDeleteJenna
What a great mix of fences Sarah I always enjoy seeing the different styles people choose... Right now I've got my mind set on a white picket fence. But they're so expensive down here :(
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful weekend.

Great pictures. The first photo reminds me of "The Secret Garden." I also like the bicycle fence!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fabulous selection of fences. There were so many great ones here. I think if it would have been me I would have saved a few and just share them a little at a time. I enjoyed the wide variety.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I am intrigued by fences and this is a fabulous post! The bicycle fence is so neat!
ReplyDeleteLove all the different fences....especially the bikes!
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures and the white bike fence is my favorite. That would look neat around my garden space.

I love fences, they are so warm and you have chosen the most loveliest in such wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteLove all those bikes resting on a fence.
Thanks sweetie for your visit. Yes, I am elated to have found the pedestal cake stand. I always coveted Susan's in her buffet.
I thought about it just the day before cause I saw hers and who knew I'd be finding one the next day!
Have a great weekend my friend.

Truly enjoyed your various sights. My favorites, the bicycle fence and bluebonnet cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI love the adorable donkeys!
ReplyDeleteSarah, your photos are stunning. Each one is totally fascinating. I got a big smile with the white bicycles.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing and for making Pink Saturday special.♥
So many wonderful and different fence ideas. I want a white picket fence in Maine :) Great photos, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I love fences almost as much as I love gates! You shared so many fabulous ones! Love that cemetery and the building with the live roof! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Really cute ideas for the garden Sarah! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteSarah, you and Nancy did a great job with these photos. Are those Blue Bonnets in the cemetery? I need to paint a flowering mural on our fence, since I seem to have a brown thumb. Isn't the white-painted bicycle fence unique? Any luck on your house sale?
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I have always been one to take pictures of fences and gates as well, so really enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteSarah, your collections of photos, these and the flags are great. I particularly like the bicycle fence. That would be so cute! I saw one here in CO that was made of skies that was so cheer feel.
